As we were recording, there were actual trades going on in the NHL, and Cieslak was somewhere over the Atlantic, as he is being extradited to The Hague for his various war crimes. Sam has escaped from the maw of the Internet Monster to actually be able to engage in the conversation. Of course, by the time this posts, half of what we discussed could be irrelevant, but isn’t that always the case anyway? And the title is interpreted at the reader’s discretion. Audio after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole – Talk To Me (Featuring Scott Powers)
After the bye week, we return with a very special edition of Live From The Five Hole, as the esteemed Scott Powers of The Athletic joins us and gives some great insight about the current state of the Hawks as the playoff push begins, as well as a great look at some of the prospects coming down the pike. We even subjected him to some of the weirdo questions that we have been fielding lately and he handled himself with predictable style and grace. And it’s a good thing too, as Sam was eaten by the internet monster about a quarter way into the ‘cast (sky point). Grab the audio after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole – Slump
Since not much has changed since the last time we convened and we can only beat so many topics to death, we cover what are apparently declining television ratings for the local squad, as well as how they stack up against another very much hated franchise in another sport. Eventually we get to some reader questions as well. Give it a listen after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole -Midlife Crisis
In this post All Star edition, all four of us are back in the fold, and here to discuss anything but what happened during the weekend, as none of us watched a second of it. There was brief discussion of the useless Top 100 list, as well as more extended league-wide deadline talk, and some interesting reader questions at the end. Listen after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole – Russian Spies
On this week’s edition, John makes his triumphant return while Cieslak is doing god knows what in Vegas. We discuss the Hawks recent goaltending NON-troversy, as well as Artemi Panarin channeling Kris Versteeg and we eventually get around to what the hell is afflicting tonight’s opponent, the visiting ‘Ning, and what it’s symptomatic of league wide. Grab a listen after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole – Flagpole Sitta
After a break for the holidays, we return with an extended edition of the podcast, since it’s been about 3 weeks since all four of us had last convened. A bevy of topics are covered, with even more time spent shitting on Bruce Boudreau’s big dumb bald head than usual. Grab it after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole – Last Christmas
With the gang all home for the holidays, the Hawks’ recent streak is discussed along with some of the roster flexibility that they may need further down the line. Now let’s all put on our earmuffs and belt out some Christmas carols together.

Live From The Five Hole – 12/14
A day late, sorry about that. Anyway, Fifth Feather, Cieslak, and myself discuss the state of the Hawks’ defense, their goaltending, league-wide trends, 24/7, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Enjoy.

Live From The Five Hole – Ordinary World
In this latest installment, we somehow manage to gripe and carp for nearly an hour about how boring this team is without either Jonathan Toews or Corey Crawford. Also, using our four combined medical degrees and various residencies at places like the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins, we determine that back injuries are probably not good. And that neither is Trevor van Reimsdyk. Audio after the jump.

Live From The Five Hole – Milquetoast
With the final Circus Trip in the books, the back end of it is dissected as the Hawks spend a healthy portion of December at home, tonight’s guests the Panthers are discussed at length, and a new segment, “Get The Hell Out Of My Playoffs” (with apologies to Dan Bernstein and the Score’s afternoon show) is introduced. Links after the jump.
